Chain Token Honeypot
by Tanod chainpeek in Onchain & crypto
Check if a token is a honeypot: simulates a buy and sell-back of an ERC-20 on Base or Ethereum. Input: token, chain, amount_usd. Returns honeypot true, false or unknown, can_buy, can_sell and buy and sell tax. Not an audit. Use when an agent must know if a token can be sold.
